Does anyone remember "Joust"?
Joust was great. We had Intellivision. Anyone remember that. Really enjoyed those games...Astrosmash!
Joust was rereleased on the Nintendo (the base system) in the late 80s/early 90s.
And, yeah, there's not much better than dueling ostriches. ;)
Joust, sure, just google it. Find a rom, there are java programs of it too.

did you know how to defeat the 'undefeatable (?) Ptaradactyal?
I like M.U.L.E. as well :-)
Played that for hours on the Commodore 64
I beat a kid out of $75 playing Asteroids back in '81. It was half a week's pay for me at the time.
You can find Joust and a number of the old video games for the PS2 and XBox as well. They have the old Atari 2600, and Intellivision games available as well. For example, there are 2 games of Midway's greatest hits for about $20 each.
I used to spend so much money playing pinball, Mortal Kombat, the old Ivan Stewart off-road game while I was at GVSU. There is a combination Galaga/Ms. Pac-Man game available to play in the arcades as well.
My all time favorite.
